Dogs On The Move by Pawsitive4LIFE

Established in 2011 and headquartered on Northwest One Hundred Sixty-Eighth Avenue in Pembroke Pines, Dogs On The Move by Pawsitive4LIFE is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit dog-rescue organization. Since its founding, the organization has saved more than 7,500 vulnerable animals from overcrowded, high-kill shelters across South Florida through local foster-based adoptions and coordinated rescue transport. Working closely with municipal shelter staff and veterinary clinics across Broward and Miami-Dade counties, the organization steps up for urgent dogs with nowhere else to turn.

In 2020, Dogs On The Move expanded its mission to focus heavily on critically injured and major-medical shelter dogs, including overlooked large-breed and black dogs facing immediate euthanasia. Each dog receives life-saving veterinary care, emergency surgeries when required, vaccinations, spay-and-neuter procedures, and microchipping while recovering in a dedicated foster home. Pembroke Pines foster volunteers provide attentive post-operative care, physical therapy exercises, and gentle socialization so injured shelter dogs can make a full recovery.

Broward County families can adopt locally through the organization's foster network after completing an adoption application, reference check, and meet-and-greet. Funded entirely by tax-deductible community donations, the rescue welcomes foster homes, transport volunteers, and medical sponsors. Through local adoptions, medical sponsorships, and community outreach, Dogs On The Move by Pawsitive4LIFE gives South Florida's most vulnerable shelter dogs a fighting chance.
